I am just running the three daemons:

ps ax | grep samba
  2914 ?        Ss     0:00 /usr/local/samba/sbin/nmbd -D
  2916 ?        Ss     0:00 /usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd -D
  2917 ?        S      0:00 /usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd -D
  2919 ?        Ss     0:00 /usr/local/samba/sbin/winbindd -D
  2921 ?        S      0:00 /usr/local/samba/sbin/winbindd -D

There is nothing in the logs apart from showing the daemons starting & 
stopping. I have even looked in the logs on the server, nothing there 
either.

Stop me if I am wrong, but as far as I am aware, winbind is supposed to 
pull the posix info from the server database. If this is so, then 
/usr/local/samba/sbin/winbindd is broken, as I only get the non-posix 
info i.e. it does not work like S3 winbind.
